Why do I ache all over
Empty
You asked me how I was doing
I said I thought I was okay
But I'm empty
I don't know why
No one wanted me for their valentine
Everyone says I'm pretty
Everyone says I'm nice
So then why
Didn't anyone want me for their valentine?
My heart got stabbed every time they gave her something
Every chocolate a death sentence
The teddy bear I carried for her a burden on my chest
So tell me why
No one wanted me as their valentine
My volcanic eyes threatened to create new trenches
As the day wore slowly on
As everyone got gifts
And promposals were prominent
I sat alone and babysat a bear
While all my will just spilled out my head
Please tell me why
They didn't want me as their valentine
I'm empty
Empty as a trash can just after trash day
Empty a a pond in a drought
Empty and the money jar that sits in my room
Empty as the dark side of the moon
Can anyone tell me why
No one wanted me as their valentine?

PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
